Iran's "Green Revolt"

Tagged:  Iran Protests, Turmoil in Iran, Iran Election Fraud

Interesting thing -- no other Middle Eastern government with the exception of the current Islamic Republic's sworn enemy -- the state of Israel -- has spoken out in support of the peacefully assembled, so far, Iranian Green Revolution protesters.

Perhaps, particularly the gulf state's monarchs, see the Iranian Peoples Revolt as a threat to their own continued dominance over their subject peoples?

First of all, it's doubtful even if the current revolt is successful, that any new form of government in Iran will replace the Islamic Republic institution that was installed in the 1979 revolution. However, the form of government that the people of Iran support is in the end -- their own decision.

One can only hope that the Iranian government can take a more modern approach, realizing that trying to enforce Islamic Sharia law in opposition to fundamental human rights, as acknowledged by most of the world's contemporary states, is a 1000 year throwback of modern law.

The current regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his puppet President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have found it fit to unleash the vigilante thugs, subservient to the Republican Guard, the Basij who now commit crimes against their own countrymen -- the Iranian people.

In recent history, the events of Cambodia's Killing Fields and Rwanda's Machete Murders come to mind when governments go to far to continue in power and the civilized world panders to the offense with words but takes no overt action in opposition.

When faced with their own shortfallings, the current Iranian regime as usual and Hitler Jr., President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have been relatively quiet with their condemnation and threats to the "Great Satan Amerika" and the "Treacherous Zionist Enemy -- Israel."

Now, it is claimed that the current unrest is the doing of the foreign powers -- how xenophobic.

Maybe, Ahmadinejad is too busy trying to save his own skin from the Iranian People's Mob?
